The Innocent Man

I have to admit, it starts off a bit slow with a lot of information coming through the first 15 minutes. But once everything starts making more sense you just become obsessed and intrigued by the story. I loved how it evolved through the 6 episodes and how every episode left you wantinf more. I can only recommend!

These stories are very important and I'm glad I watched this series. However it can a bit confusing with all the different characters involved with these 2 separate incidents. The dramatic parts are lackluster as well but not so bad as to ruin the episodes. Perhaps a pen and paper to write down notes would help keep the stories and characters straight in your head as you watch. 6/10

Really interesting stories of two tragic murders.

Chops back and forth between the cases in an unnecessarily confusing way at points, and goes over and over and over the same details far too often. Could have been covered in half the duration.

I get that they want to make their point and case for the story, however the borderline Michael Moore rabbit punch crescendo in the finale is unnecessary. Ironic that they want to make a case that only a small proportion of the evidence made it to the trial, whilst wanting the viewer to make their decision based on their cherrypicked highlighted sentences of evidence.

Definitely glad I persevered, albeit I'll not revisit.

I can only repeat what others have said already. This is such an important and intriguing story yet it's presented so poorly. I actually stopped and rewinded so many times because I couldn't follow. Which is sad because of its important message.

Overall, I really enjoyed this series, which takes a look at still more innocent people being locked away for decades of their lives.

But there are a couple points of confusion: Going into the second episode, I felt like I just wasn't getting enough details. You will eventually get caught up on (most of) those missing details to form a whole picture, so don't let that stop you from watching. My other problem, as another reviewer stated, is that there are so many people in the series. It can start becoming difficult to keep up with who did what, and to which case that person is connected,

Still, I do recommend it. It's an important topic that needs to be discussed more. I would like to purchase John Grisham's book now. Hopefully it will answer some of the questions I still have.
